[linux-yocto] add local kernel folder to yocto build

[Pavan Kumar B]

Hi,

I am new to yocto and trying to create bsp for my wandboard-quad. As a
starting point I have followed the
http://wiki.wandboard.org/Getting_started_with_Yocto_on_Wandboard and
finally gave the command "bitbake core-image-minimal"

So far so good.., I can see the generated images at
/fsl-community-bsp/build/tmp/deploy/images/<myboard>/

Now I want to build yocto with my own kernel instead of downloading from
repository. It was 3.0.35 base kernel with lot of modifications being done
to it. I have been working to achieve this since last week and was no
success to achieve this.

I have read yocto user manual and other stuff and came to know that I need
to set the SOURCE_MIRROR_URL in bit bake file. So I have tried to set the
following in the bit bake file located at $
/fsl-community-bsp/sources/meta-fsl-arm-extra/recipes-kernel/linux/
linux-wandboard_3.0.35.bb


SOURCE_MIRROR_URL ?= "file://home/mykernel/"
INHERIT += "own-mirrors"
BB_GENERATE_MIRROR_TARBALLS = "1"
BB_NO_NETWORK = "1"

But it was not working.

Some one must have already tried to achieve this. Please let me know like
how do I set the path to my local kernel folder and with what name do I
need to store it. Modifying linux-wandboard_3.0.35.bb is sufficient or do I
need to modify any other files as well

Regards,
Pavan
